Beverage bottle illuminator

ABSTRACT

The Beverage Bottle Illuminator is an illumination device, designed to market bottled beverages, by attaching the illuminator to any area or specific location on the beverage bottle. The intent of the Beverage Bottle Illuminator is to attract attention to the bottle by use of illumination. The Beverage bottle Illuminator can be made to fit any shape, size, color, or type of bottle or any other type of application. The Beverage Bottle Illuminator uses the use of a Mylar backing in order to reflect the light up throughout the bottle capturing the maximum amount of glow.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to a means and a method of providingillumination, attraction and interaction to a bottle beverage. Moreparticularly, the invention relates to an illuminating body having aselectively operable chemical luminescent illuminating device providedto a product and the method of making same.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Distinguishing ordinary consumer products from their like competitors inan attractive and appealing manner increases sales and consumption ofthe product. In doing so, marketers aim to appeal to the five senses ofhuman beings—smell, touch, vision, hearing, and taste.

In creating consumer products; the taste, smell, and visual appeal of aproduct, such as a bottled beverage, are optimized to appeal to a targetmarket while maintaining economic viability of the product are in thesame way optimized. As a result, consumer products are often introducedin aggressively styled containers. For example bottled beverages haveedgy flavors and colors.

However, once optimized such appeal oriented attributes, especiallyvisual attributes, remain fixed. Consequently, consumers can quicklybecome accustomed to a products appeal. Attributes that seem new andradical when introduced become ordinary. Bottled beverage shapes thatonce were distinctive become a part of the consumer's landscape.

It has been proposed that a product in an unusual and or eye-catchingmanner would increase the attention that yields higher sales. This isespecially true for products sold in containers, such as bottledbeverages. It has similarly been proposed that attracting the user in aninteresting and or rewarding interaction would also yield higher sales.It has further been propose that changing the coloration of a product inresponse to such an interaction would further increase consumerinterest.

Therefore, what is desired are means and/or devices to enhance toconsumers the appeal of bottled beverages and for those means and/ordevices to be simple, cost effective, and incorporate interactionbetween the consumer and the product.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The chemical luminescent illuminator can be applied to any area of thebottled beverage. It can be used on the bottom of the bottle as depictedin the CAD drawing, or it can be attached to the cap of the bottle, orcan be molded or built into the actual bottled beverage in any locationdesired, or necessary.

In addition, to chemical luminescence, L.E.D., fiber optics, lasers,incandescent lighting, fluorescent and all other methods or futurelighting sources, including different chemical reactions mixtures,and/or different chemical ratios may be implemented in place of thechemical luminescent applicator to achieve the desired illumination. Forother lighting options besides chemical luminescent, a power source maybe implemented in order to illuminate the bottle.

Theme music or all music variations of music and sound can be added orused individually or in conjunction with the illuminator to achieve thedesired marketing appeal of the product.

Applications include but are not limited to, bottled water, carbonatedsodas, carbonated water, mineral water, flavored water, champagne, wine,beer, liquors and any/all other bottled beverages.

Illumination can be turned on using but not limited to, toggle switch,pressure activator, push button switch, by touch, by noise, or impactand radio frequency transmitter.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIG. 1 is an illustration of a bottled beverage illuminator assemblyincluding the bottom 1, activator and oxalate tube 2 for the chemicalluminescent reaction, and a top 3 that perfectly fits the bottom of abottled beverage. Both the top at bottom of the illuminator device aremade of clear or transparent thin plastic or similar material that hassome resilience. The top and bottom are heat sealed or similar to createa self contained pocket for the chemical reaction. The activator andoxalate tube 2 are broken by a firm push to the center of the bottom 1,and then shaken to mix the reactants

FIG. 2 is another view of FIG. 1 the bottom 1 on the device

FIG. 3 is a cut away view of an assembled bottled beverage illuminatorshowing the bottom sealed to the top with the activator and oxalate tubesealed inside; Referring to the unassembled bottled beverage illuminatorin FIG. 1.

1. A Beverage Bottle Illuminator is an illumination device affixed to abottled beverage, which comprises; a. a circular disk body containing tofit any bottle; i. Chemical luminescent, ii. Fiber Optics, iii. Lasers,iv. Incandescent Lighting; v. Fluorescent and; vi. All other methods orfuture lighting sources. b. and adhesive side to affix the illuminationdevice, also for easy removal of recycling the bottle, and; c. areflective material to direct light into the bottle
 2. The BeverageBottle Illuminator in claim 1 could have music/sound individually or inconjunction with the illuminator.
